ANN HARRIS was appointed as the council point of contact with the committee. This decision was made after nearly an hour of discussion between Layton Mayor Lewis G. Shields, the three members of the Layton City Council in attendance at the city council meeting and Richard Allen, chairman of the citizens committee. MAYOR SHIELDS opened the discussion by reading a prepared letter addressed to the city council, the Chamber of Commerce and the citizens of Layton. This document said, I should explain when I stated that the salary of the Mayor and Council had not been increased for the last 12 years, I meant there had been no vote taken by the Council to increase the base salary originally given. There has been a cost of living increase in the basic salary of the Mayor and Council whenever the city employees were given an increase over the years. Some people have felt because of my statement that the salary which the Mayor and City Council were getting prior to July 1, 1982 was the same as 12 years ago. This is not correct. The actual dollar amounts have apologize if my state- changed and ment was misunderstood. I I STILL BELIEVE the salary of the Mayor and Council prior to July 1, 1982 was inadequate. That was the reason this matter was originally brought up. I believe this issue has consumed enough of our time and we should now proceed to other ongoing city matters. The letter was signed Lewis G. Shields, mayor. Councilman Sill then made the motion to allow the citizens committee to pursue the original intent of the first letter they received from the Mayor. COUNCILMAN Bob Stevenson stated he believed the original issue was limited to how salary increases should be made. Elected officials should handle affairs of the city in respect to department head salaries, etc. DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL 197 B' North Main St, Layton, Utah 84041 Phone 3 Published Weekly by CUPPER PUBLISHING CO.

Shields announced to the city council last Thursday evening that a special had been appointed to dispense public information about the proposed resource recovery plant that could possibly be built in Layton near Hill Air Force Base or north of the Layton site on the base. MAYOR SHIELDS requested the involvement of Layton City people with the committee. He said, We need to continue to look at citizen concerns, get information and get information going back and forth between the committee members and the citizens. The Mayor went on to explain the location of a resource recovery plant at the pond site on State Road 193 just south of HAFB should concern all Layton residents not just the 19 families living in the immediate vicinity of the pond site. -- fj - WITHIN A few days, the county will officially approach the Layton City Planning Commission with a request to rezone the pond site so this plant can be constructed. A request will also go to Hill Air Force Base asking for permission to build the plant on the base north of the pond site. COUNCIL MEMBERS and the Mayor expressed concern over the dilemia the city is in regarding the resource recovery plant. They seem to have us over a barrel, one councilman stated. If we dont approve for Layton then the county will simply move it across the street onto the base. Mayor Shields said if the plant were located in Layton then the city officials would have some control over the plant design, the landscaping, the traffic patterns, etc. Layton would receive some revenue from the plant. COUNCILMAN Bob Stevenson said, We should make sure it is the right thing even though it looks like they have us over a barrel. We shouldnt do something prematurely. The Mayor said all information including engineering studies and cost studies should be put together by The county hopes to get started with the project before the first of the year, dmg r.
